Download or read book Latinx Superheroes in Mainstream Comics written by Frederick Luis Aldama and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2018 Eisner Award Winner for Best Scholarly/Academic Work Whether good or evil, beautiful or ugly, smart or downright silly, able-bodied or differently abled, gay or straight, male or female, young or old, Latinx superheroes in mainstream comic book stories are few and far between. It is as if finding the Latinx presence in the DC and Marvel worlds requires activation of superheroic powers. Latinx Superheroes in Mainstream Comics blasts open barriers with a swift kick. It explores deeply and systematically the storyworld spaces inhabited by brown superheroes in mainstream comic book storyworlds: print comic books, animation, TV, and film. It makes visible and lets loose the otherwise occluded and shackled. Leaving nothing to chance, it sheds light on how creators (authors, artists, animators, and directors) make storyworlds that feature Latinos/as, distinguishing between those that we can and should evaluate as well done and those we can and should evaluate as not well done. The foremost expert on Latinx comics, Frederick Luis Aldama guides us through the full archive of all the Latinx superheros in comics since the 1940s. Aldama takes us where the superheroes live—the barrios, the hospitals, the school rooms, the farm fields—and he not only shows us a view to the Latinx content, sometimes deeply embedded, but also provokes critical inquiry into the way storytelling formats distill and reconstruct real Latinos/as. Thoroughly entertaining but seriously undertaken, Latinx Superheroes in Mainstream Comics allows us to truly see how superhero comic book storyworlds are willfully created in ways that make new our perception, thoughts, and feelings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A precious jewel raised on old school music, Jillina (J-Bax) Baxter embodies one half of the elements of Hip-Hop (Rapping and Dancing). She started writing poetry and short stories at age 7. As rap music emerged, she arranged her ideas to music and began rapping at age 13. She was a member of a break-dance crew, The Take Out Crew ("T.O.C"), who was known throughout the Capital Region for their dance skills. T.O.C. performed at SUNY of Albany, The Albany Boys/Girls Club, The Veterans Hospital, Washington Park, and Wheels Plus Roller Rink. They also danced in a benefit show at The Palace Theater to raise money for the Drakeland Daycare Center. When the group disbanded, Jillina along with another female crew member decided get up off the floor and on the mic and formed the Take Out 2 M.C.s. At that time she performed under the moniker “M.C. Chilly Jill”. They took part in various functions around the Capital District such as The Black Arts and Cultural Festival in Albany, NY, The Albany Boys and Girls Club, Washington Park Summer Jam, YWCA Black History Month Program and Wheels Plus Roller Rink rap contest taking 2nd place title. After the duo broke up, Jillina continued to perform. She has recited rap verses for The Burger King Black History Month Show which was aired on public access television. Other performances include: Amateur Night at the College of St. Rose, and a talent show at the Amsterdam Mall in Amsterdam, NY in which she came in 3rd place and Blessings Nightclub in Schenectady, NY.

She also performed at the Blue Nile in Albany, NY showcasing local artists. Jillina also has had the opportunity rap for artists such as L.L. Cool J.

In addition to her rapping skills, J-Bax is also a dancer. She was a regular dancer on F.M. Dance Club which was aired on WXXA T.V. 23 for one season. She also choreographed shows at the Albany Boys/Girls Club. For a number of years, Jillina (J-Bax) was in and out of various studios recording demos trying to take her music from the block party to a bigger arena, but her focused shifted when she became a mother. Holding down a 9 to 5 and being a single parent gave little time for Jillina to concentrate full-time on a music career so she parlayed her skills as a writer into other opportunities. Jillina has freelanced for a number of on-line and print publications such as HipHopSite On-Line Magazine based in Las Vegas, NV and The Hive/Blaze 1 Radio in Atlanta, GA. Prior experience includes Entertainment Editor for Urban Voice Newspaper, as an On-line journalist/photographer for www. Jamz963.com and contributing writer for The Black World Today www.tbwt.net.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What ho! A new Jeeves and Wooster novel that is "impossible to read without grinning idiotically" (Evening Standard), penned in homage to P.G. Wodehouse by bestselling author Ben Schott -- in which literature's favorite master and servant become spies for the English Crown. The misadventures of Bertie Wooster and his incomparable personal gentleman, Jeeves, have delighted audiences for nearly a century. Now bestselling author Ben Schott brings this odd couple back to life in a madcap new adventure full of the hijinks, entanglements, imbroglios, and Wodehousian wordplay that readers love. In this latest uproarious adventure, the Junior Ganymede Club (an association of England's finest butlers and valets) is revealed to be an elite arm of the British secret service. Jeeves must ferret out a Fascist spy embedded in the highest social circles, and only his hapless employer, Bertie, can help. Unfolding in the background are school-chum capers, affairs of the heart, antics with aunts, and sartorial set-tos. Energized by Schott's effervescent prose, and fully authorized by the Wodehouse Estate, Jeeves and the King of Clubs is a delight for lifelong fans and the perfect introduction to two of fiction's most beloved comic characters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Images from movies and film have had a powerful influence in how Native Americans are seen. In many cases, they have been represented as violent, uncivilized, and an impediment to progress and civilization. This book analyzes the representation of Native Americans in cinematic images from the 1890s to the present day, deconstructing key films in each decade. This book also addresses efforts by Native Americans to improve and have a part in their filmic representations, including mini-biographies of important indigenous filmmakers and performers.

Download or read book Whiteness Afrikaans Afrikaners written by MISTRA and published by MISTRA. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa has been reeling under the recent blows of an apparent resurgence of crude public manifestations of racism and a hardening of attitudes on both sides of the racial divide. To probe this topic as it relates to white South Africans, Afrikaans and Afrikaners, MISTRA, in partnership with the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) and the National Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIHSS), convened a round-table discussion. The discourse was rigorous. This volume comprises the varied and thought-provoking presentations from that event, including a keynote address by former president Kgalema Motlanthe, inputs from Melissa Steyn, Andries Nel, Mary Burton, Christi van der Westhuizen, Lynette Steenveld, Bobby Godsell, Dirk Hermann (of Solidarity), Ernst Roets (of Afriforum), Xhanti Payi, Mathatha Tsedu, Pieter Duvenage, Hein Willemse and Nico Koopman, and closing remarks by Achille Mbembe and Mathews Phosa. It deals with a range of issues around "whiteness" in general and delves into the place of Afrikaners and the Afrikaans language in democratic South Africa, demonstrating that there is no homogeneity of views on these topics among white South Africans overall and Afrikaners in particular. In fact, in these pages, one finds a multifaceted effort to scrub energetically at the boundaries that apartheid imposed on all South Africans in different ways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A diverse group of authors journey into the fringes of human consciousness, tackling psychic and paranormal phenomena, lucid dreaming, synchronistic encounters, and more. Collected from the online magazine Reality Sandwich, these essays explore regions of the mind often traversed by shamans, mystics, and visionary artists; adjacent and contiguous to our normal waking state, these realms may be encountered in dreams or out-of-body experiences, accessed through meditation or plant medicines, and marked by psychic phenomena and uncanny synchronicities. From demons encountered in sleep paralysis visions to psychic research conducted by the CIA, the seemingly disparate topics covered here congeal to form a larger picture of what these extraordinary states of consciousness might have to tell us about the nature of reality itself.

Download or read book American Sports [4 volumes] written by Murry R. Nelson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 1678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America loves sports. This book examines and details the proof of this fascination seen throughout American society—in our literature, film, and music; our clothing and food; and the iconography of the nation. This momentous four-volume work examines and details the cultural aspects of sport and how sport pervasively reflects—and affects—myriad aspects of American society from the early 1900s to the present day. Written in a straightforward, readable manner, the entries cover both historical and contemporary aspects of sport and American culture. Unlike purely historical encyclopedias on sports, the contributions within these volumes cover related subject matter such as poetry, novels, music, films, plays, television shows, art and artists, mythologies, artifacts, and people. While this encyclopedia set is ideal for general readers who need information on the diverse aspects of sport in American culture for research purposes or are merely reading for enjoyment, the detailed nature of the entries will also prove useful as an initial source for scholars of sport and American culture. Each entry provides a number of both print and online resources for further investigation of the topic.
